Sorry. That's not a chemical.

Slow day today, mate?

Like me, he's working on a Saturday. It is understandable. Originally, my only computer work plans today were to look for anew cellphone case. I am torn between a lovely crystal inspired -560 ntd- with double pockets -on a local website- and a Supernatural one -700 ntd equivalent, imported from England, takes a month or more for shipping -Ebay UK.

Alas, I have wasted two hours looking for a proper term to use once in an article, not to mention the gender of a Senator whose name sounds like an old maid... in the 50s... And I have two chapters of a soap opera to translate in the afternoon... Oh joy. Not.

In the ol country they use pig grease for these cases. Does not smell nice, I can assure you.

I tried rubbing mentholatum on my feet last night because I had the sniffles. Bloody marvellous! An entire night of rest. We used to get Vicks on the chest when we were snottery kids in the 1960s. Again, worked a treat. Or you could be Jimi and cough and splutter all night, whilst muttering "debunked bollocks to Murgatroyd, cough, hack, sneeze." The shit works.

Why don't you tell us all WHY it works? This whole "Oh, it works for me because I believe it does, and my mum told me it does and I don't care why because it does" is a bit bullshitty, don't you think?

God works in the same mysterious ways.

Because I 'aint no scientist, Jimi my darling. Try it, next time its a cold night and you're feeling a wee bit peely-wally. Trust me. You'll thank me.

"Apparently"? I have it on very very good authority that it does indeed. INDEED! Not on the feet, though. We smeared it all over our heads. RIGHTEOUS!

It would require an experiment with three groups. One only on e, one on e smeared in Vick's, and another only smeared in Vick's. All dancing to tedious repetetive music. A Likert scale could then be used for feedback afterwards.
